After some abysmal antivirus products it looks like Norton may have gotten back to it's roots a little with a version that seems pretty lightweight... MS has 90 trials posted in its partnership program so I figured I'd give it a try on one of my machines.
So far it's been pretty much invisible. I'm not too sure I'll pay for it once the trial is up (AVG free has met my needs so far as long as you don't install the linkscanner crap)
Anyways if any of you guys/gals want to try it, here's the link symantec

I heard from my friend that the 2009 is actually pretty well resourse and usefulness wise, that they got rid of alot of the bloat. I feel that the day where I might once again recommend Norton to parents, friends and family soon. That being said I personally have never used any AV software on my personal computer and *knock on wood* so far have never gotten infected in my many years of using computers.

Well I don't hate licorice but I hate Norton now - no matter what they changed, it misses on some detections ! I now use AVIRA Security Suite, and it gets updated sometimes everal times a day. No more norton for me. Some other AVs have an edge over other types of detections like malware, scripts, trojans, etc.

Norton had one of the best brand name's and for almost a decade now has thrown it down the drain with software that was immense and useless. It'd be nice to see them with something worthwhile again. Although I own a copy of Kaspersky and it's been great.
